Supremely Talented Tyrant -
Chapter 837 - 836: Guarding the Car
The next morning, Hao Jian called Moon Goddess Jiang and told her about missing his flight, then suggested they go out for another walk.
Of course, the main reason was that he wanted to spend more time with Moon Goddess Jiang. After all, Hao Jian's base was in Hua City, where he often had many things to handle, and Moon Goddess Jiang could not leave Capital City easily due to her responsibilities.
Moreover, she had to take care of Hao Lu, so Hao Jian always wanted to spend more time with Moon Goddess Jiang to make up for the time he owed her in the past.
On days with few or no commitments, Moon Goddess Jiang usually had a lot of free time, so upon receiving Hao Jian's call, she nodded in agreement, got ready, and left the house with Hao Lu.
Today, Hao Jian planned to finish visiting several attractions including the Summer Palace, Old Summer Palace, and then eat some local snacks from Capital City before ending their day's journey.
"Lulu, did you miss daddy?"
Seeing Moon Goddess Jiang, Hao Jian smiled, nodded, then picked up Hao Lu from Moon Goddess Jiang's arms, extended his index finger, gently tickled Hao Lu's little nose, and laughed softly.
"How forgetful I am, didn't we just meet yesterday?"
The child's innocence made Hao Jian touch his nose, thinking she would miss him, only to find she was as strong-willed as her mother.
"Yes, yes! Daddy did forget, but daddy missed Lulu a lot after not seeing her for a whole night!" Hao Jian said as he carried Hao Lu into Moon Goddess Jiang's Land Rover.
After the experience of taking an unlicensed taxi last time, Moon Goddess Jiang didn't want to use taxis anymore. After all, driving her car, the most trouble would be finding parking spaces. But since her vehicle had a military plate, she thought these issues should be easy to resolve. If there was no parking space, she could just find any spot to park.
That day, Hao Jian took Moon Goddess Jiang to the Old Summer Palace to see the ruins, then they went to a nearby upscale western restaurant for a meal, continuing their journey afterward.
This time, Hao Jian drove the Land Rover and slowly pulled it over to the curb before stepping toward their next destination, the International Shopping Center, Linhai International Trade Center building.
But just as he was about to lift his right foot, he suddenly caught sight of a figure that looked rather sneaky to him. His eyes narrowed slightly, and then he shifted his gaze over.
"Looking at his attire, he seems to be a cleaner... But why is he acting so sneaky, what is he doing?"
Curiosity piqued, Hao Jian approached the cleaning man, watching him walk around a BMW car repeatedly, occasionally looking around, leaving Hao Jian quite puzzled.
You might think he's a thief from his behavior, but it doesn't seem quite right. You say he's not a thief, yet this looking around and glancing inside the car is precisely how thieves behave.
Therefore, Hao Jian felt the need to follow and ask what exactly he was doing. A cleaner, acting this way in this international trade plaza.
"Excuse me, what are you doing?"
Hao Jian stepped forward to inquire, his face full of curiosity, gazing at this man who appeared to be in his fifties, and asked.
"The window of this BMW car is open, and I was worried that someone might steal something important inside, so I can only stand here and wait for the car's owner. But I've been waiting all day, and the owner still hasn't shown up…" Evidently, Hao Jian had misunderstood the cleaner, who seemed quite anxious and wasn't likely lying—a detail Hao Jian could discern.
"If the owner doesn't show up soon, I will have to leave early, as I haven't been able to go to work all day. I'm afraid that my boss might dock my wages…"
The cleaner's face showed helplessness, having been possibly asked these questions many times before. He spoke quite clearly. However, Hao Jian didn't really have any solution for his current predicament.
"Hao Jian, can you think of any way to help Cleaning Uncle out?" Moved by Cleaning Uncle's actions, Moon Goddess Jiang also looked at Hao Jian with slightly parted lips.
"Well, since we're not in a rush anyway, let's just wait here with Cleaning Uncle for the car owner. Since the owner hasn't shown up for a day, they're probably going to appear soon..."
Cleaning Uncle's actions also moved Hao Jian. In this world, there are very few people like him, and his words didn't have any mistakes.
This BMW car was a luxury model, worth at least a million, and it was also very new, obviously purchased just a few days ago. Given these circumstances, it was impossible for the owner to neglect their car.
After all, there are very few people who can simply abandon their cars like this.
"You two must be here to shop at Linhai International Trade Center, right? I'm fine, just go about your business, I'll wait a bit longer and see."
Cleaning Uncle was quite surprised by Hao Jian and Moon Goddess Jiang's decision, but after thinking about it, he felt it wasn't appropriate. He is a cleaner at Linhai International Trade Center, and if his boss found out that he let customers stay with him to wait for the owner, the boss might get angry.
The boss of Linhai International Trade Center is not easy to deal with. Although this identity means nothing to Hao Jian, he is Cleaning Uncle's direct boss, and his salary is decided by him.
"Haha, don't worry, Uncle. If your boss punishes you, just tell me, and I'll talk to your boss. People like you are really scarce nowadays, I believe as long as your boss is not foolish, he definitely won't blame you."
Hearing the worry in Cleaning Uncle's words, Hao Jian chuckled, waved his hand, and then went to sit on a stone bench by the roadside, obviously planning to stay and wait with the Uncle for the car owner to arrive.
"Since we are not in a rush, we might as well keep Uncle company for a while!"
While looking at Cleaning Uncle, who showed a moved expression by the BMW, Hao Jian also said this, easing his worries.
"Well, okay, I didn't expect young people like you to still exist these days..."
Unable to resist Hao Jian's insistence, Cleaning Uncle helplessly nodded his head. Since the customer volunteered, even if the boss inquires, he might have an excuse, right?
Just like that, several people waited for the car owner to arrive. Hao Jian sat under the shade of a tree, playing with Hao Lu alongside Moon Goddess Jiang, while Cleaning Uncle continued to fulfill his duties.
Kung Fu rewards the diligent. An hour after Hao Jian arrived, a lavishly dressed young man approached from a distance, probably because he was dressed in brand-name clothes, numerous women threw flirtatious glances his way.
"Sir, your car window was not properly closed. Now that you're here, I can leave..."
Seeing the car owner arrive, Cleaning Uncle scratched his head and said this before preparing to leave to catch up on the work he had missed earlier in the day.
Hao Jian, sitting under the tree, frowned slightly upon seeing the car owner's appearance, a wave of unease washed over him, as if sensing that something was about to happen.
"Pretending? I think you were trying to steal my things! You stole my things, and now that you're caught red-handed, you're looking for an excuse to run? Do you really think I would let you off that easily?!"
The next scene proved Hao Jian's worries true; the young man ignored Cleaning Uncle's words and first inspected the inside of the car, his face suddenly turning dark, his eyes icy as he stared at Cleaning Uncle who was about to leave, his angry words slowly emanating from his mouth...
"Th... This sir, I... I didn't do it!"
Upon hearing this, Cleaning Uncle, who was just about to leave, suddenly turned pale and immediately turned back, trying to explain...
"Damn it! A lowly cleaner dares to steal from my car?! The most important document that I kept in the car, and my wallet, are both gone. Hand them over immediately!"
The young man's face was ugly. The document inside was crucial for his negotiations at the trade center, its worth over tens of millions, and now it had been stolen!?
Even his wallet, carrying several thousand yuan, was taken!
"Looks like you're asking for a beating!"
Seeing that Cleaning Uncle was denying it, the young man's temper flared up, and stretching out his fist, he directly aimed a punch at Cleaning Uncle's face...
"Bang!"
Poor Cleaning Uncle, already of a certain age and having stood and been in the sun all day, had little energy left. Now struck by the young man's punch, he instantly fell to the ground...
While he struggled to get up, his physical weakness kept him from succeeding despite several attempts, and then the young man's foot harshly kicked him, sending him flying several meters away, scraping several wounds on his body.
This sudden outbreak attracted the attention of many shoppers, their expressions changing subtly, some looking at the young man with anger-filled faces.
They were aware of Cleaning Uncle's actions, and understanding some of the reasons, seeing him being treated as a thief by the car owner immediately ignited their anger..............................................
